Support line – Assistance foroperation and application Alternatively to the visit of a seminar or to the service visit of a technician at site, you can talk to our experts on the support line – against charge Seminars Studies have shown that more than half of the problems with technical systems are not caused by the technology itself, but rather by the user. A good training of the users helps to avoid troubles and, as a result, to reduce the costs.The Zwick/Roell seminars inform about theory and practice of thematerials- and component part testing, the evaluation and the valuation of the test data, test results and the operation and maintenance of the testing devices. These seminars either take place directly at the user’s place or at the locations of Zwick/Roell companies or representations. Creation and adaptationof test programs With the test software of the Zwick/ Roell Group already many different test programs can be acquired. The test requirements are however not always standardized. Experts will adapt your existing test programs individually or will create a new test program which is tailor-made to comply with your requirements. Calibration serviceaccording to ISO 9000 The Zwick/Roell maintenance- and calibration service is accredited as DKD Hotline – Quick assistance incase of malfunctions For Zwick/Roell, the perfect functio- ning of the testing machine is very important. Should, in spite of the high quality standard, any malfunc- tions occur on the machine or with- in the software, then competent specialists are available on the free hotline. Particular advantage: The technicians of the calibration service can, on the occasion of their service visit, not only service, adjust and calibrate the Zwick/Roell testing machines manufacturer and systems, but also the machines and systems of other manufactures. This saves time and costs.The regular maintenance andcalibration of the testing machines is also a prerequisite for a quality management system according to QS-9000 and VDA 6.1. Maintenance and repair A service contract with individually agreed service intervals for a careful and thorough maintenance and calibration guarantees the correct and trouble-free operation of the supplied testing machines and systems. Whereby it is not impor- tant which manufacturer supplied the testing machine. In case of a malfunction, a service-engineer or – technician is quickly available at site. Modern auxiliary means such as a telediagnostic service via modem allow a quick and exact fault localization at an early stage. Different reaction models guarantee the availability of a technician within the shortest period of time possible. Advice and support
